"Education should never be underestimated. It is a foundation, and foundations matter. I also know the importance of focus, even diligent efforts can leave you without results. I call this striving without thriving. What's the point of that?"
"Powerful people are focused people."*
To thrive, not just survive, focus on your learning goals. You need a plan to acquire the knowledge you will need to compete in your chosen field. Invest your time wisely by having clear, written goals, priorities and a plan acquire the skills needed on Wall Street, like accounting and finance.
"Don't learn the hard way, which is often the too late way. Invest your time wisely...", says The Donald.
Learning to focus on your priorities will give you a head start in the race for business success.
Know your purpose when reading, studying, and participating in skill building activities. For instance, what do you want to glean from the books you read? Beginning with the end in mind will make you a more effective reader.
